I think all is working again now. Please leave a comment on a photo somewhere if something you need is not working still.

No. I have been to their office at the building they occupy and it has all their planes hanging in it, the same ones pictured in their ads. I talked with one of their people a couple of years ago when they were preparing to release the Skyraider kit. I get the impression that the laser cutting is done somewhere else in town.

Thanks guys. Question DD: Since you live close to Tucson, have you toured Dumas Products, Inc., checking out the laser cutting and engineering of their model planes?

Very nice looking build.

No, the stabilizer frame did'nt shrink. The plans have both flying model and scale outline drawings for the stabilizer.

P-47 Thunderbolt. Here is another of the (17 ½ “ wingspan) Dumas kits. This kit is #217, one of 27 possible Walnut scale kits available from Dumas. These kits are lacking in details, but I enjoy upgrading the models. Additions to this model are: the four blade propeller, engine cylinder representation, cockpit details (instrument panel, control levers, seat), and the two bombs, which were made from dowel rods and cardstock.

I upgraded the model by adding more stringers and spars to the framework, which is now doped, sanded, and doped again.

Tissue applied, shrunk, and doped. Ready for painting.

Suggested kit paint scheme included the invasion stripes.
